ESPN’s College GameDay returning to Bloomington for Indiana-Minnesota game

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB+WAVE) — Indiana football is getting another visit from ESPN’s College GameDay.

The network announced Sunday morning that its popular college football pregame show will broadcast from Bloomington on Saturday, Oct. 31, ahead of the No. 6-ranked Hoosiers’ Big Ten matchup with Minnesota.

The announcement comes one day after Indiana defeated Michigan 13-6 in overtime at Michigan Stadium, its first victory in Ann Arbor since 1967.

The defending national champion Hoosiers (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) bounced back from their first loss in nearly two years, a 19-15 setback against Ohio State, behind a 4-yard touchdown run by quarterback Josh Hoover in overtime.

Saturday will mark the second time Bloomington has hosted a full edition of College GameDay. ESPN brought the show to campus in 2024, when Indiana defeated Washington. The network also broadcast an abbreviated Thursday edition from Bloomington in 2017, when the Hoosiers opened their season against Ohio State.

The visit continues a remarkable run of national television attention for Curt Cignetti’s program.

Saturday will mark the fourth consecutive week Indiana has been featured on a national pregame show. FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff was on location for each of the Hoosiers’ previous three games.

College GameDay has also followed Indiana on the road in recent seasons, including visits to Ohio State and Notre Dame in 2024, Oregon in 2025 and multiple College Football Playoff games during the Hoosiers’ national championship run.

The ESPN show features Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban and Kirk Herbstreit.

College GameDay airs Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon ET on ESPN and ESPNU.

Indiana and Minnesota kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
